I expect someone out there has heard of this before, but I ask them to keep quiet for the moment if they know what this is about.
Tried it with friends once, and it seemed pretty accurate.
Ok. Basically, I want you to answer these questions with your INITIAL REACTIONS. The very first thing you think of.
--------------
1) You are in a desert. There is nothing but you, the sand, and a box. How big is the box?
2) You are in the desert again, nothing but you, the sand, and a horse. Describe the horse.
3) You are in the desert once more, only you, the sand, and a ladder. How tall is the ladder?
4) There are clouds in the sky... describe them.
I'll tell you what it's all about when I get enough people to answer it.

Pick enough for me to live in.
2) You are in the desert again, nothing but you, the sand, and a horse. Describe the horse.
Dead ( I was hungry. It's a big desert)
3) You are in the desert once more, only you, the sand, and a ladder. How tall is the ladder?
About 2 ft. I chopped the rest up for firewood. It gets cold at night in the desert
4) There are clouds in the sky... describe them.
Non-existent. It's the desert. No rain. But maybe it's monsoon season, OK. Lots of them, big dark ones, swirling everywhere.
Practical enough for you?

3 and 4 were more or less accurate for me.
Only the horse was in a strangely good condition and my box wasn't big enough! ;-D

Grix asked for the FIRST thing that comes to mind... ok!
1) You are in a desert. There is nothing but you, the sand, and a box. How big is the box?
-A nice little box to carry my toe-nail clippings in- so not that big at all. Maybe 1cm squared?
2) You are in the desert again, nothing but you, the sand, and a horse. Describe the horse.
-(Please don't shoot me) sexy.
3) You are in the desert once more, only you, the sand, and a ladder. How tall is the ladder?
-As if it could touch the sky.
4) There are clouds in the sky... describe them.
-(looking out of my bedroom window for this one) dull and misserable.

So.. my horse is thirsty and lost, and my sky is full of big clouds.
Damn ;)
Other two were 'average', I guess.
Interesting...
But surely it's not really possible to clear your mind as much as you really need to for this to be accurate? And it's obviously going to be biased towards your own personal experiences with these particular things - and the phrasing of the question.
Still, it makes you think....

Okay, my responses before I've read any replies:

> sand, and a box. How big is the box?
About the same size as the box for a PC monitor. Having unpacked yesterday, my answer is somewhat biased here...
2) You are in the desert again, nothing
> but you, the sand, and a horse. Describe the horse.
It looks thirsty. And lost. It's brown. Just a 'regular' horse otherwise.
3) You are in the desert
> once more, only you, the sand, and a ladder. How tall is the ladder?
Um... about 10ft? 'Ladder size'?
4) There
> are clouds in the sky... describe them.
Cumulonimbus - big white and puffy. Seeing as I might not be in the desert this time, they might as well be typical british rainclouds.

i'm glad nobody descibed their horse to be well hung, lol :)
So... I don't know how big my ego is...
I like a bird with brown hair...
I have 12 friends...
and my worries are Impeding....
Oh dear.....

This is really cool Grix, I feel if i answer it now you will think I fixed it, big boxes, damn them.

Considering the fact that I had two horses in my head.
One a a decent brown horse but then thought... desert nah, its all messed up :-)
